LONDON, Nov. 21.-The defeat OF the French min
istry is puzzle to which almost everybody has a
different key. The probability is that NJ. Clem-
enceau was surprised at his victory and overthrew
the government when he meant merely to harass
them. He has lately repudiated Boulanger. His
cue is rather to retard matters than TO hasten
them. The most eccentric element in the major
ity, and indeed In French politics at the present
moment, was the action OF the right, who suddenly
turned upon the ministry which they brought into
power The plausible explanation OF this Is that
IL is the Count de Paris revenge on President
Grevy for his exile. II so. IL is
VERY CLUMSY BIow, INDEED,
for It has made GIevy, who Is an obstinate old
man, put his foot down and declare that the will
OF the chamber shall not have any effect on his
attitude. Everybody recognized that he Is consti-
tuti0nally safe. This change OF front has momen-
tar1ly dsmayed the presidents assailantS who
are not ready with an opposition candidate. VI.

the
POSSIBILITY or BoULANGER STREET REVOLUTION.
In that case the republicans generally would
place confidence in Gen. Saussier, who is a very
wings decidedly clipped. His policy is kept quiet.
II matters come TO the worst pass Il Is probable
that Orevy may resign. Saussier would then be
elected by the national assembly In his place.

she was down, but was frightened away by the
approach OF persons attracted to the spot by the
cries OF the unfortunate lady. When found the
blood was streaming from her face, the bridge OF
her nose was broken or mashed, and there were
other evidences OF the terrible punishment she re-
cetved at the hands Of her aSsailant, who, she
says, either wore metal knuckes or had some
